LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Entergy Arkansas says power outages related to the Christmas Day winter storm have dipped below 1,000 - but crews are also working to restore new electricity outages that have emerged since Dec. 25.

The utility says 848 homes and businesses are still without power from the Christmas storm that dumped snow and ice throughout the state. But Entergy must also restore power to an additional 1,300 customers who lost power for issues not related to the winter storm.

About 1,000 outages are in Pope County. In Pulaski County, 759 homes and businesses were without power Tuesday.

At the peak, 194,000 Entergy Arkansas customers were without electricity last week. Just over 100,000 of them were in Little Rock, while another 41,000 were in Malvern and Hot Springs.
